When I watched the “Growing Up Online” I was really shocked. I would like to comment on the Jessica story that even went to the extent of making up a different name; I believe she used the name Autumn. I mean she was clearly different then all the students she went to school with. It even looked like she couldn’t talk to her parents about it, they seemed so All American and I sure they wouldn’t understand that she was going through a phase where she needed someone. So, she reached out to the people on the internet. Now, maybe if this would have gone on longer Jessica or “Autumn” wouldn’t be here to talk about it because of online predators but I just don’t see how it was any of the schools business what she was doing after school hours. That is the parent’s responsibility. I just can’t get over teachers doing things like these. There is a school close to me where the coaches would get on facebook and kick people of their teams because of pictures posted online that had alcohol in them. Now, alcohol is one thing, but who cares that Jessica got on the internet and wanted to be another person. I can’t even imagine them taking that away from her. I would be so scared if I was her parents that she would kill herself. That was like taking away her life in a sense, it was all she had.
